Elvis Costello and the Imposters – MOMOFUKU

Elvis Costello back in rare form? No country western poses, no orchestra in the background. Could this be the rock n’ roll album we’ve been waiting for since Brutal Youth?

#23: Corporate Raiders of the Last Art (repost)

Old Wave Clothing

New 80s Vinyl: U2, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Police

Yes, I misspoke about the “new” Cure album. Turns out it’s a new vinyl reissue. Suddenly, there are loads of new top-quality vinyl reissues coming out of England and Japan these days, including Never Mind the Bollocks, the entire catalog of The Police (start with Outlandos D’Amour), classic U2 (War, Joshua Tree) and loads more. So, pull the old l.p. collection out of the garage, order a new copy of Combat Rock, and have yourself an old wave night.

I know, I know…if you’re like me, the old turntable died years ago. Well, like old wave music, you can still buy old skool equipment. This comes with a built-in pre-amp so you can hook it up to your new skool receiver (that doesn’t have a phono in jack).
